Some time after I met Simon, we had travelled about looking for food and to see if other things besides us and my surrogate family were alive. It was then I noticed Simon had crown and Marcie seemed to be frightened of it. Being so little, I never could understand why and I thought the object was fascinating. I do have a vague memory of Marceline making Simon swear not to put it on again. I put it on and found nothing to happen. Perhaps, the crown only have a certain effect on certain people and I was not one of them. He ruffled my white hair and put the crown away. However, he would have to put the crown on, at some point later. Sadly, Marcie fell ill and was had to go and find chicken soup for her.

We travelled for some time back a town we had passed to go to a "soupery". He tried to use a motorcycle but lost control and went into a wall and exploded. I couldn't walk on my own, as I had lost the use of my legs prior, and Marcie was too sick to walk that long of a way, so he found a wheelchair and placed both of us in it, taking us to the soupery. He tells that what he was doing was wrong and he breaks a window. We searched through the soup shop but there wasn't any soup, only these cards. As we thought about what we found, Marcie notices something in the mirror. A slime monster. As soon as it notices us, it comes towards us, trying to attack us. Simon knocks it out and saves us.

We quested deeper into the abandoned city and found what we thought would yeild the cure for Marcie's illness, only to find it was "clambulance". He tells us to cover our ears and he swears but, as he does so, he kicks the truck, the siren of which causes more slime monsters to come and attack us. Not given much of a choice, he used the crown and froze them, while singing, Where Everybody Knows Your Name". He took the crown off but he seemed a little different. Not to a noticeable extent, but he did seem a tad strange. We later got the chicken soup and a can opener from pink blob. It seemed to be that his mind was starting to go, as he couldn't remember either of our names and called us all Gunter. I didn't mind, as I was called names that weren't my own.
